Over the past decade racist incidents have been
reported in almost all aspects of Australian society.
On public transport, in healthcare, in schools, in
the workplace, in our essential institutions.

More than two third's of students from non-European
backgrounds have experienced racism at school. And so
it goes. We've seen it in Parliament with Pauline
Hanson wearing a burqa.

Understanding the extent of racism in Australia is
the first step towards better understanding amongst
our communities. We have Indigenous Australians, Asian
Australians, Migrant and refugee communities. We have
Australians of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
Education and understanding and getting rid of stereotypes
is key.

We all have stories to tell. We all have our side of each
story - but that does not mean that we can't get along.
We have to admit that we do have folk who face the
brunt of racism in our communities. Not only in subtle
ways but blatantly in everyday public settings and
institutions.

We can collectively do better.
Instead of being in denial or trying to justify our behaviour.

Indyvidual,

Major surveys have found that
more than two thirds of students from non-European
backgrounds face racism at school and that 76% of
Australians from a non-European background have
experienced racial discrimination based on their
ethnicity.

Understanding the extent of racism in Australia
is the first step to eradicating it.

Comment- I believe this is tyrannical propaganda. We cannot as Foxy said 'collectively work together' with people that refuse to concede any ground and don't negotiate in good faith. Interesting that Foxy uses the phrase 'eradicate ... racism' as the only choice is to eradicate and marginalize the disloyal and benefiting dis-similar from our sphere of intercourse. My understanding is that Foxy has vested interest in the university sector. Millions of immigrants arrived recently, the media talked of 700K in the past year. Australia by far one of the highest per capita immigration rates- shameful unrepresentatives having media/ institutional power still proclaim that Australia racist. The profane obscenely conspiring political parties denying democracy on immigration brought in immigrants without democratic process and justify themselves and defile the people under auspices of universalist anti-racism. Local's are reacting to tyrannical victim blaming government's and benefactor's. Engaging in ethnic manipulation and cleansing of the Australian people, in the name of anti-racism. If there is racism in Australia the biggest racism has been to disenfranchise the founding peoples both in scale and extent. 'In groups' of Marxist and Global Capitalism have hijacked Australia for their own wet power dreams.
The only nations of the world where multiculturalism is policy are western nations- why is this?? Why do people of European heritage need to give up their power in the name of anti-racism but no one else needs to??

Some groups create chaos for power. The middle east has always been at war with Europe, China invaded Europe in the 1200's. There is always probing at the borders of nations by foreign entities and foreign populations it is the duty and responsibility of governments, media, universities, institutions, corporations to be loyal to native interests. If they act as looters then they will be treated as looters. Universities supposedly the guardian's of credibility and truth are corrupt- negating their authority- and public sources of truth are invalid. The people are able to see for themselves what their own interest is- 'the first step' is to think.

There is nothing wrong with a people protecting their own interest and culture from interference.

The founding people need to take back their power and their territory.

Hi Foxy,

Me thinks this CM character is a National Socialists, and a poorly disguised one at that, he pushes the White Aryan Race line at every opportunity.

Yes Foxy; "why make it sound like racism is a "European" thing ?" that particular Gubba on being informed that one has Aboriginal blood and lives in a city, immediately refereed to the Koori as a "Concrete Jungle Bunny" disgusting act of racism if I've ever seen one. No doubt Indy will explain.
